MRI for Bone Cancer
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is another state-of-the-art diagnostic technology Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) uses to precisely pinpoint bone cancer cells within the body.
Using magnetic energy and radio waves, MRI creates cross-sectional images, or "slices," of the human body. The main component of most MRI systems is a large tube-shaped or cylindrical magnet which surrounds the patient as a body scan is performed.
By precisely pinpointing the location and size of the tumor, and whether or not the cancer has spread to other areas of your body, MRI helps CTCA radiologists and other specialists properly stage the cancer. Your care team at CTCA can then use this information to customize your bone cancer treatment plan to your unique needs.
